How You Cook Meat May Affect Your Type 2 Diabetes Risk

Did you know that the type of cooking method you choose to cook meat with can make a great difference in your risk of developing type 2 diabetes?

Researchers from the Harvard Chan School of Public Health’s Department of Nutrition analysed the data of more than 289,000 men and women who were followed for 12 to 16 years. They discovered that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes was 1.5 times greater in subjects who most frequently consumed meats cooked at high heat, compared to those who consumed the least.
